P59, a virulent phage of Bacillus oceanisediminis, was isolated from the sediment of Weiming Lake at Peking University (Beijing, China). P59 showed the typical morphology of myovirids. The complete genome sequence of P59 is 159,363 bp in length with a G+C content of 42.34%. The genome sequence has very low similarity to the other phage genome sequences in the GenBank database, suggesting that P59 is a new phage. A total of 261 open reading frames and 15 tRNA genes were predicted. Based on its morphological and genetic traits, we propose phage P59 to be a new member of the family Herelleviridae.
P59 是从北京大学未名湖沉积物中分离到的一株海洋极端芽孢杆菌烈性噬菌体，具有典型的长尾噬菌体科的形态特征。其基因组全长 159363bp，G+C 含量为 42.34%。P59 基因组序列与 GenBank 数据库中已有的噬菌体基因组序列相似性均较低，提示 P59 可能是一株新的噬菌体。预测到 261 个开放阅读框和 15 个 tRNA 基因。综合其形态学和遗传学特征，将 P59 鉴定为长尾噬菌体科的一个新成员。
